How about left and right side remote rearview mirrors that I have on my car.
It seems the hood mounted tach is not so rare for Mexico.
What was the last year for the hipo 273 4spd? My 68 GT had a/c and 273 (not when I bought it) Was it 68? Because the 318 was going to replace it as the standard v8. When was the first year for electronic ignition?
How about the 71 340 darts built for the Canadian dealerships?
I live in England and have a 1969 Dart gt that was assembled in Belgum and came with a 340 and 8 3/4 rear and gts running gear It is also factory Silver with light metalic green interior dont know of any others like this dont know if it counts as it was not assembled in America
So where is the control wand for the right side remote mirror ?How about left and right side remote rearview mirrors that I have on my car.
LO23s. not many done. i know in 68 they had the HEMI with a dual quad setup with 4 speeds and a dana. plexiglass rear window. no radio. no carpet. aluminum seat brackets. seat belts to pull the windows up. they ran high 10s low 11s right off the lot!!! and i heard they only made like 85 or something idk. but if you ever see a 68 Dart layin around with notched 1/4s at the wheel well and a black front end with everything else grey, stop what your doin. you coulda just found a big old money pot.LO23 would be pretty rare!
I would have to say beside some of the more exotic options LO23 & BO23 Cars or M code A-bodies the 72 foldable fabric moonroof would have my vote as a rare option. I saw a defrost option about 16yrs ago on a Duster we used for parts. I currently have a 73 H Code Sunroof Dart for what that worth with light Parchment interior. Any one ever seen a Savage Barracuda? If there is one still out there, it might be the rarest of rare A bodies, even though it wasnt a factory option or factory backed race car, still a cool car not allot known about!

If that mirrors bowl isn't deeper on the outer edge it was made for a righthand drive car.
Ok then....
My 2 cents worth:
A Bodies never had from the factory:
Cruise Control, Power Windows, Passenger Side Remote Mirror, Factory Tape Player, 6 Pack option.
I make this statement based on my 30 plus years messin with mopars. If I am wrong...cool. I live to learn and help others!
However, Factory Cruise Control is an easy add on... have it on all my auto Darts.
Power windows would be nice.... but a major conversion. (I am gonna try it soon though).
As for the rarest A Body option: I would guess the Factory Sunroof then AM/FM radio.

Okay, Bish; I don't know how your car got over there but you have to give it back now. High time that vehicle came home...
Seriously though, I'm impressed; we have Dart Lovers among our British Brothers across the water. Very cool. Drive yours much, and what kind of looks do you get from passersby when you do?
75 Made.
I think the Hood mounted tach was dealer installed, not an option.
